Halogen

Halogens constitute a group of elements in the periodic table, characterized by high electronegativity and their tendency to form diatomic molecules. This chemical group includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Due to their powerful oxidizing properties, halogens participate readily in redox reactions and are commonly utilized in industrial and biological applications. The varying chemical stability and reactivity across the group allow them to be employed in diverse scientific fields, including the production of disinfectants, specialized semiconductor materials, and various chemical reagents.
